Rankings

Stefanos Tsitsipas, Yours Truly, People, May 19, 2024

 

Tsitsipas has a strong forehand and frequently controls points by driving his opponent all over the court. Additionally, he can flatten his forehand and score off short balls. Tsitsipas consistently receives many free points thanks to his strong first serve. However, his second serve frequently lacks bite and is vulnerable to attack. Tsitsipas’ one-handed backhand, which is generally regarded as his weaker wing, is stylish. He can hit a precise down-the-line missile anytime to open up a point, but he can also make a few unintentional backhand errors. Tsitsipas’s net game is already among the best in the world; he frequently makes spectacular diving volleys while nailing difficult volleys, making him a YouTube favourite.
